Open it on firefox and turn on reading mode
Pay-walled
Not on Firefox with uBlock Origin ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I have all the filters except generic cosmetic and experimental turned on. How is your uBlock set up?

Anti-paywall filter :)
imo the BPC extension is the better choice. it can, for example, automatically load content from archive.today
This is the best Christmas present!
Strange. I don’t have access to the posted link but this one has the same author, same post date, same article image and title however from what I can tell, has a different starting sentence: https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/2025-felt-disaster-numbers-tell-120000268.html
They are, in fact, the same.
Also a decent ad blocker will make your life better :)
Sorry, i do not know why it got downvoted to oblivion (no pay wall should not be reason, if you know how to, you can easily bypass most paywalls(hint - js)). Sorry OP, hope you are not discouraged from this.
Takes a lot more than a dozen or so downvotes to discourage me :) I see it as a learning opportunity for folks without (properly configured) adblockers.

that is great. I do not know if you (or anyone else for that matter) may think this community or melly/piefed or fediverse in general is like this, and so wanted to say sorry (as a member/mod of this comm).
I do not even have a ad-blocker. I just have global js disabled and some css rules - goes a very long way and almost no website complaints, is lighter for my browser (though i also have /etc/hosts rule in case something passes by).
